Time to move again; we slipped the mooring lines at 08:30 and headed back into Lake Erie. As it is Friday, I started calling ahead looking for a reservation for the night. We finally found an opening at Huron Boat Basin in Huron, OH, arriving about 14:30. On the way, I ran over a couple of good sized logs that were apparently tied together with fishing line or something. They were awash and I did not see them at all until we ran onto them at full speed, accompanied by a lot of noise. But we got through them with no apparent damage. At the dock, we were berthed beside a group of sailors who had come over from Sandusky for the night; they invited us to join them for Happy Hour and we had a good little party until it started to rain at 20:30. We got loads of useful advice on places to stop on the way to Lake Huron, as well as in Georgian Bay and North Channel.
